Overview
Leica QGrain is a digital image analysis application available as a single module or as part of the Leica QMetals suite. Leica QGrain performs automatic, objective and repeatable grain size analysis to industry standards. Compared with traditional manual techniques, Leica QGrain not only minimises the operator time and effort required, it also improves the accuracy of analysis, irrespective of the material being analysed.
Key Features
-
Performs interactive and automated grain sizing analysis.
-
Leica QGrain Wizard guides the user through the application process.
-
Comprehensive selection of analysis techniques.
-
Gallery of standard grain images for visual comparison.
-
Outstanding grain reconstruction algorithms.
Leica QGrain is just one application of the Leica QMetals suite for the Leica Q550 MW Materials Workstation, and it uses the Leica Q550 MW environment for image acquisition and system automation. The environment also provides easy access to essential, interactive instrument settings and a continuous display of the workstation operating conditions, such as camera gain and offset, shading correction, detection levels and calibration.
Confidence in Conformity
Leica QGrain offers the user a comprehensive selection of grain size analysis techniques. The user can be confident that the analysis process conforms to their particular laboratory requirements and the relevant industry standard.

Analysis History, Database and User Configurable Reports
Leica QGrain measures the grain size number, the mean area and mean intercept length at high speed, according to the standard and analysis technique selected; measurements can be averaged over multiple fields of view if required. Results and images may be displayed and stored in an integrated database, where a search facility can quickly find the results of a particular analysis using unique information such as customer, specimen type, data, operator, etc.. Traceability is ensured, providing analysis history for incorporation into local GLP procedures. Results can be stored along with images in the industry standard Microsoft Access database format
